(Summary)
Hi everyone, Papa Kenn here, and I literally just finished seeing the remake of Evil Dead. And I’m just going to give you my first impressions here…

Wow. That was a horror movie. That was a gritty, dirty, gory horror movie (and I absolutely loved it). Anyone that is a fan of the original Evil Dead movies, I think you’ll be pleased with how this remake was handled, though I have seen split opinions online. There’s not really any of the campiness of the original movies. It’s done in a very serious way but still rings very true to the Evil Dead series, and even has a few shoutouts to the originals (both subtle and not so subtle). It does have problems, all of which revolve around a few of the actors…but otherwise, everyone does a really good job.

In my opinion, this is a must see for fans of the Evil Dead series and horror fans in general. It has problems, but despite these I will happily add it to my collection alongside Evil Dead 1 & 2 and Army Of Darkness.
